NRTRC Conference Overview: Innovation Through Collaboration

 The annual NRTRC conference was held in Seattle March 30 - April 1.  The purpose of the conference was to bring providers together, increase their knowledge and utilization of telemedicine. Mosaic Medical's own Aimee Priest and Andy Eck were invited to present.  This was a great opportunity for Mosaic Medical to engage in the larger telehealth community.     

 

During the presentation, our team discussed the positive impact of remote monitoring and chronic care management for Community Health Centers and patients.  Additionally, they discussed the evidence based practices that enhance short-term remote patient monitoring interventions, compliance, care team efficiency and significant healthcare savings.   The presentation highlighted program strengths such as how it better engages patients in their own healthcare.  It also give providers additional tools to care for some of the most vulnerable population within a proactive approach to health management.  The forum allowed us to share the following program statistics:
 Our largest age group populations are within the 50-59 and 60-69 year ranges

 59.43% of all patients have at least two diagnoses
  (Hypertension and Diabetes most prevalent)

 76% (161) of all patients successfully completed or remain on the program   

 There has been a 5.2 point reduction in systolic BP; a 3.4 point reduction in diastolic BP

 Diabetics on average saw an A1C improvement of .33 after six-month participation

 A 7.4% increase between pre-program PAM scores and post-program PAM Scores
